Sketch a Day 2

I missed the last two days, to make up for that I tired something different. I used a random word generator and got these two words nonspeaking and metempsychosis and drew from them. Still did my warm up and got to practice foreshortening in the second sketch. It was a bit out of my comfort zone and I'm thinking about carrying the metempsyhosis image to a final illustration.

Sketch a Day

Been a long time, (a really long time) since I've posted anything here. So I decided to join a group of people from Link in who are doing a drawing a day or week, for whatever purpose. Generally I draw everyday, I just don't post very often. So I'm combining the two to help motivate myself to be more active on the Internet, meet new people and hopefully inspire others to do the same.

As for my drawings, they're more of sketches/warm ups I do. Most of the time I'll copy from George B. Bridgman Constructive Anatomy book. I prefer doing this because I don't have to think too hard about what I'm drawing and it's a wonderful way to warm up and practice your anatomy. Right now I'm finishing up the arms then I'll be moving onto the shoulder and armpit.

I won't be posting these types of sketches all the time, every once in a while I post some work in progress and some finished pieces.

Soul Cleaver Process and Final

I finally got to draw something for myself.  This is to get me back in the mood of comics.  Also it's a reminder that I need to work on backgrounds.  This is a new style for me with thicker line art, more american style.

Story behind this, I started it at my friend's dorm room, hadn't a clue what I was going to do and this is what turned out, a witch who cleaves other people's soul for power.  I just really wanted to do special effects with her which happened to be a pain cuz white gel pens hate me, so I resorted to acrylic paint for the highlights.

This is all done traditional using 2b mechanical pencil, ink with brush and dip pens, rapido pen, copic markers, white acrylic paint and a gold gel pen.
